My fiancé bought the original ring as my engagement ring a few months ago and I am over the moon excited to wear them both as a complete piece. The cut on the metal is perfect, not sharp at all. The ring shimmers and it's all around perfect. Thank you so much for such a beautiful piece!

My fiance bought my engagement ring from this shop a few years ago and I loved it. I ended up ordering this matching ring for our upcoming wedding and it's beautiful as well. They look great together! It arrived super quick as well. I'd recommend this shop to anyone!

This is a very stunning piece! Depending on the shape of your diamond, it may appear to be slipping out between the bars, but it's pretty secure in there. I look forward to wearing this at my wedding this fall!

About

My working hand! And the reason I don't show pictures of jewellery on my own hands...they are far too beat up!

The raw diamonds that I work with...each unique and individual and special...just like each one of us!

Rewarded by Creativity

I’m fond of the unusual and things that ‘tick’. I’m inspired by nature and it’s perfectly imperfect creations and detailed craftsmanship. I’m fuelled by coffee and driven by dreams. My work today reflects all this and more.

I quite literally grew up in a jewellery, gift and watch repair shop. Some of my earliest childhood memories are those of unpacking crates of giftware, boxes of jewellery and creating display areas. Circumstances and life paths took many twists and turns before I eventually returned to my roots and put my energy and passion back into what makes me thrive. Many of the tools I still use today in my workshop have a long history dating back to the early mid 1900’s.

I consider myself fortunate to be able to work for myself, through all the ups and downs and uncertainties. The job I’ve created for me outweighs any other job…ever! I’m rewarded by the creativity and honoured that my creations hold treasured positions in many people’s lives when they choose a piece that I’ve made to celebrate a moment or milestone in their life.

Worldwide standard shipping via Canada Post OR USPS is no additional cost and does not include tracking.

I stand 100% behind all my work. I warranty my handmade items for one full year from date of receipt against any workmanship or craftsmanship concerns.

Repairs on items are assessed on a piece by piece case as normal wear and tear on items is not covered by any implied warranty or guarantee.

Additional policies and FAQs

Each rough diamond used in the creation of the rough diamond jewellery pieces comes from legitimate sources not involved in funding conflict. My trusted supplier of these diamonds guarantees that it is conflict free and takes every reasonable measure to help prevent the sale of conflict diamonds in accordance with the Kimberley Process.

Each gemstone is sourced from ethical, trusted and reliable sources.

Recycled or reclaimed metal is used where ever possible in my work.

Unlike mass produced jewellery items, slight variations are to be expected on hand made jewellery, adding to the charm, character and uniqueness of the piece. This is your assurance of handmade quality.

Please recognize that each monitor or viewing device will display colors differently. My photos, when viewed on my monitor, represent the colors of items very closely to the actual color in natural lighting. The actual color of an item when viewed in person could appear different that what you are viewing on a computer monitor. I have not attempted to enhance or alter the colors in photos; in fact, my photos are simply cropped to fit the recommended size for these listings.

I will only use your contact information to communicate with you about your order, to fulfill your order and for legal reasons (when required by law). I will never share your information or spam you without your consent.

Frequently asked questions

Do rough diamonds and gemstones shine?

The shine and sparkle of any gemstone is created by the cutting, faceting and polishing processes. There may be shimmer and shine in rough uncut gemstones, but not to the extent of a cut/faceted/polished gemstone. The rough, uncut gemstones I use are unaltered and are as shown in the listing photos.

Are the rough diamonds certified conflict free?

Yes! All my diamonds, rough or faceted, comply with the Kimberley Process to ensure they are conflict free and legitimately sourced.

Where do the diamonds come from?

They come from various diamond producing locations through out the world that agree to participate fully in the Kimberley Process.

Can you engrave on the inside of rings?

Often! Many of my rings can be engraved on the inside with your special sentiment. Message me to confirm if the ring you are considering can be engraved. There is no extra charge for engraving and I am happy to include it for you on the pieces that are engravable.

What if I order the wrong ring size?

I can usually resize for you! It’s important to try to be as accurate as possible with the ring size you select but I understand that mistakes happen. If you’ve ordered the wrong size please contact me for return instructions for resizing.

Is there a warranty?

I stand behind my work 100%. I warranty all my work for one full year from date of receipt against any workmanship or craftsmanship concerns. Items that have been altered by another or damaged outside of normal daily wear are excluded from my warranty.
